MOHID’s graphical user interface is
composed by two core programs: MOHID GUI and MOHID GIS. Both of them
make use of some auxiliar tools:
MOHID Post Processor
Mohid Post
Processor is a tool to analyze the HDF result files produced by any
Mohid executable. This tool allows to visualize the temporal
evolution and spatial distribution of any property as a continuous
animation. The data can be displayed in several ways like, color
maps, isolines, vector plots and particle (for the lagrangian model).
The display can be done in different views: XY slice, XZ slice, YZ
slice, TZ slice or 3D cube.
Many times, data information from different formats
than the ones supported by Mohid is required to perform simulations.
This is mainly the case for atmospheric data, as Mohid does not
simulate explicitly the atmosphere, but needs information about
atmospheric properties in time and space.
As information is accessed in different formats, and
most formats are changed or updated in relatively short periods of
time, it was decided to create an integrating tool that would easily
convert a new or different format to Mohid’s supported formats. This
tool has also the advantage of separating the conversion code from
the model main source code, releasing the latter from performing
file conversion tasks that have nothing to do with the scientific
calculations it was originally designed for. This tool allows also
graphically viewing the information given to the modelling
simulations, select information from defined periods of time and
interpolate information to any grid defined in the original domain,
using bilinear or 2D spline interpolation methods.
The tool is written in FORTRAN 95, via an object
oriented programming philosophy, and backed up by a graphical user
interface, written in Visual Basic .NET, and the Mohid PostProcessor
written in FORTRAN that uses the OpenGL graphics libraries.
